Rockaway Nemo to Flag Day

This is NOT Rockaway or Queens or any other boro of New York City. This residence is a post-hurricane structure. The location will be identified at the end of this post.

For the previous installment in this series . . . Sandy to Nemo . . . from four months ago, click here.

Here’s a March foto taken by Barbara from her 7th floor terrace, showing water/land edges in southern Queens. In fotos farther down, you’ll see this reinforced building now painted greenish yellow.

Early April 2013.

Mid April.

The rest of these fotos I took today at sea level. Note the lifeguard on duty, bundled up for morning 60-degrees beach. In the foreground beyond the fence is one of the concrete supports for the boardwalk Sandy peeled away. Maersk Denver, anchored on the horizon, will serve as a reference point. When Nemo happened, this vessel was in port in Taiwan.

And now in situ are the bathrooms that Ashley send a foto of about a month ago here. Foto looks roughly north.

The Maersk Denver referenced in this set of pictures is not the same vessel. Maersk recently renamed 8 of their vessels that will now service Middle East to USEC (MECL1). This vessel was actually Maersk Kendal. These eight renamed vessels are larger and newer than the existing fleet on the MECL1. The older Maersk vessels of MECL1 and regular visitors to the sixth borough will be phased out in the coming months and likely end up serving as feeder vessels in Europe.
